Remastered re-release of the sixth full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With "Metal Heart", Accept attempted to add catchier choruses and melodies to their high-octane guitar riffing in a clear ploy to crack the American market. Not that this move in any way upset the balance of their thus-far smooth-running Metal machine, which had been gaining momentum with every release since the start of the decade. "Metal Heart" was certainly a step toward accessibility, but a cautious one at that. You gotta hand it to Accept, they sure knew how to make an entrance by now, and the apocalyptic title track is about as dramatic as it gets, with guitarist Wolf Hoffman taking the helm on a long, mid-song solo excursion containing equal nods to Beethoven and Edward Van Halen. First single "Midnight Mover" is next, and along with the even more melodic "Screaming for a Love-Bite", it places obvious emphasis on hooks and melodies (and proved to be the toughest to stomach for the band's more hardcore fans). But despite another strange detour into Jazz territory with the bizarre "Teach Us to Survive," Accept still packed amazing power, heaping on their Teutonic background vocals for the ultraheavy "Dogs on Leads" and gleefully pile-driving their way through relentless moshers like "Up to the Limit" and "Wrong Is Right". The brilliantly over-the-top "Too High to Get It Right" finds Dirkschneider screeching like never before, and to cap things off, the band really cooks on "Living for Tonight" - arguably the best track all around. A winning set!
Album was the first album produced by Dieter Dierks himself. The title track contains two classical themes: Tchaikovsky's "Slavonic March" in the intro, and Beethoven's "Fur Elise" in the guitar solo.
“Metal Heart” considered by fans as one of the band's best records.
Re-edition contains two bonus-tracks, both taken from "Kaizoku-Ban - Live in Japan"!

The second European re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Accept had a run of superb albums in the ‘80s, beginning with this one, and including 1984’s "Balls To The Wall" and 1985’s "Metal Heart".
"Restless And Wild" was released in 1982 in Europe and in 1983 in the US and UK. It was the first Accept album to not be recorded at Delta-Studio - the band moving to Dieter Dierks' studio in Stommeln. It is also the first Accept album in which Udo Dirkschneider sings every track, as well as the first in which manager Gaby "Deaffy" Hauke gains credits for songwriting. Michael Wagener took engineering and mixing duties once again.
Versions of the album released outside Germany were issued with a different cover, replacing the picture of burning guitars with a shot of the band live in concert.
Like its successor, "Balls To The Wall", it is an essential Heavy Metal album, and any fan worth his salt should own them both. Whichever you chose, you can only win!

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
This was the last Accept album to feature Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist until the 1993 reunion album “Objection Overruled”.
The album returns Accept to the darker, heavier sound prior to the more commercial-sounding predecessor “Metal Heart”.
By the time, they reconvened to record "Russian Roulette", creative differences were beginning to tear German Metal stars Accept apart at the seams. While guitarist Wolf Hoffman wanted to continue pursuing the commercial Metal formula first explored with the previous year's "Metal Heart", vocalist Udo Dirkschneider defended a return to the harder-edged approach that had characterized the band's uncompromising breakout releases "Restless And Wild" and "Balls To The Wall".
The digitally remastered re-edition includes live versions of "Metal Heart" and "Screaming For A Love-Bite" as bonus tracks, taken from the “Kaizoku-Ban” album!

The 13th full-length album by the German Heavy Metal legend.
Band’s second album since their 2009 reunion. Accept recently celebrated the biggest success in the band’s history with “Blood Of The Nation” in 2010 and 2011. During two world trips in these eventful times, Wolf Hoffmann & Co. still found time and inspiration to write songs for the new album. The pressure was tremendous, but as we all know – Accept love challenges and search for them! No distance too far, no burden too heavy for a perfect record, for the perfect show. And here comes “Stalingrad” – a statement for the iron will to succeed. Album shows the band returning to their classic 80's sound, with some clear modern touches. Songs forged in the sweat and haze of the concert halls and hardened in the fire of hundreds of thousands fans’ excitement. “Stalingrad” is a terrific performance from beginning to end with virtually no filler. Everything from the album's sound to the fantastic artwork cover is simply drenched in talent.  The entire album from start to finish is filled to the brim with terrific guitar playing, amazing vocals, and just pure talent!
"Stalingrad" is a constantly trilling return for the classic Heavy Metal band! The Mark Tornillo era of Accept is already an important chapter in the band’s legacy, and hopefully it’s going to be a long, long chapter indeed!! Now is a great time to be an Accept fan!!!

Re-mastered re-release of fifth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Accept's most notorious album, "Balls To The Wall", was also their biggest commercial success. This is the best-selling album of the band that sold in an amount of about two 2.000.000 copies worldwide and received Gold status in the U.S.
Most fans of Accept perceive this album as the best in the discography of the band. Following hot upon the heels of their creative breakthrough, "Restless And Wild", you'd also be hard-pressed to find a more sexually charged record in any musical genre.
Like its predecessor, "Balls To The Wall" is an essential Heavy Metal album, and any fan worth his salt should own them both. But, for the sake of first-time visitors, "Balls To The Wall" is the slightly more melodic, less gritty of the two. Whichever you chose, you can only win!
The digitally remastered re-edition includes live versions of "Metal Heart" and "Screaming For A Love-Bite" as bonus tracks, taken from the “Kaizoku-Ban” album!

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
In the history of Heavy Metal, not many bands can claim to be able to celebrate their breakthrough twice. Accept managed this four years ago, as, with their reunion record "Blood Of The Nations", returning with a vengeance by charting all over the World and topping critics’s and fan polls in the process. In their home country, Germany, Accept charted at an incredible #4 in the Media Control Charts, making this highest position in the band’s career to date.
Built around the nucleus of band colleagues Wolf Hoffmann (guitars) and Peter Baltes (bass), with new vocalist Mark Tornillo as well as Hermann Frank (guitars) and Stefan Schwarzmann (drums), Accept completed a global march of victory, peaking in a sold out tour and outstanding festival shows.
The successor "Stalingrad" maintained the high level with (yet again) over 100.000 records sold, followed by numerous nominations as “record of the year”, a completely sold out world tour and overwhelming chart entries (#5 in Hungary, #6 in Germany, #8 in Finland, #16 in the UK Rock Charts, #17 in Switzerland and #22 in Norway, to name but a few).
Now "Blind Rage", the latest installment in this amazing return, is ready to write history once more. The band’s creative streak has delivered a thunderstorm of riffs, only one Wolf Hoffmann is able to set aflame. Besides the “red Accept-line”, as the band likes to call it, the only goal was to “remain interesting”. Another factor that has turned into an Accept trademark is the voice of singer Mark Tornillo. The New Jersey born musician has been the man behind the microphone since the Accept reunion took off in 2009. Within the course of the three albums, he has grown into his role as frontmen of these “Teutonic terrors”. Wolf Hoffmann, who likes to call himself a “naturally born perfectionist”, praises his band colleague and states that “his accomplishment is outstanding”.
While Accept like to get newly inspired as far as the creative aspect is concerned, they put the fine-tuning of "Blind Rage" into the most capable hands of producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Exodus, Five Finger Death Punch). After the two previous records, "Stalingrad" and "Blood Of The Nations", the decision to work with Sneap again was far more than a “never change a winning team”-situation. The sound couldn’t be better: homogenous and authentic, dynamic yet versatile! And you can hear the musical wrath that gets Accept going and also led to the album title!!

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
It is the band's first studio recording since 1996's "Predator" and the first album to feature vocalist Mark Tornillo and drummer Stefan Schwarzmann. It is the first album without Udo Dirkschneider on vocals since "Eat the Heat" in 1989. This is also the first album to feature guitarist Herman Frank since "Balls To The Wall" in 1983.
The last time there was a new studio album from Accept was in 1996, and Heavy Metal was quite possibly at an all-time low - completely ignored by MTV ("Headbanger's Ball" was off the air), and forget about radio. But the album in question, "Predator", did include longtime members Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffman, and bassist Peter Baltes... Fast-forward ten years, and vintage Metal was in a much healthier and happier state, with bands from the '80s experiencing an undeniable resurgence in popularity. So what better time for Accept to dust off their Flying V's and Rock once more? ...Only one catch - Udo declined the reunion this time around. Undeterred, Hoffman and Baltes decided to soldier on, re-enlisting former Accept guitarist Herman Frank (who left the band in 1984), drummer Stefan Schwarzmann and former T.T. Quick singer Mark Tornillo.
The "new look Accept" issued their first studio album in 14 years in 2010 and musically, the band has created an album that certainly measures up well to their early- and mid-'80s glory days! Vocally, hearing anyone besides Udo in Accept will take some time to get used to - especially for long-time fans - but hang in there, and you'll discover that Tornillo is certainly a worthy replacement. "Tough and Heavy" is a straight-to-the-point description of such tunes as the ass-kicking album-opener "Beat the Bastards", as well as "Teutonic Terror" and the heavy duty title track.
"Blood Of The Nations" debuted at number four on the German albums chart, making it Accept's first highest chart position since "Russian Roulette" (1986), and their second highest chart position (their 2014 album "Blind Rage" would debut at number one). In 2010, The Dinosaur Rock Guitar forum honored "Blood Of The Nations" with a Dino award for 'Album of the Year'. The album was voted the "#1 Comeback Album" in a 2013 VH1 poll. Also, in 2013 Metal Shock Finland declared it "The Best Shocking Comeback Album".
Producer Andy Sneap (known for working with the heaviest of Heavy Metal bands) successfully brings Accept sonically back to the Metallic roar of their glory days throughout "Blood Of The Nations", resulting in an impressive return of Germany's second best-known Heavy Metal export of all time!!

"Death Row" is a dark, primal album that finds Accept mostly abandoning their classic sound for this experiment in sheer aggression. If you thought Udo sounded angry on the last album, he's absolutely furious on some of these songs. This album was produced by drummer Stefan Kaufmann, who actually had to leave towards the end of the sessions due to health problems, and Stefan Schwarzmann then handled drum duties. Stefan Kaufmann was still the official drummer for Accept, but drums on "Bad Habits Die Hard" and "Prejudice" are by Stefan Schwarzmann according to the liner notes. 
While the band may have felt they were breaking new ground here for themselves, it was the same ground, so many other Metal bands had already covered. It seemed that too many great 80s Heavy Metal bands found themselves in the position of copying their contemporaries instead of building upon the unique elements they already possessed. In Accept's case, Wolf Hoffman had greatly toned down his Neoclassical influences in the new riffs he's crafted here. As a result, the songs wound up sounding fairly generic and try to succeed simply by being "heavier than thou". Is the well-intended, but somewhat flat follow-up to the marginally successful Accept comeback release, "Objection Overruled". Accept wisely attempted to make a more consistently heavy recording and practically eliminated the mellower dynamics that limited their previous offering. While opting for a more singularly heavy approach was a good decision, the choice of drummer Stefan Kaufmann to produce the record left things sounding a little weak when compared to "Objection Overruled" (produced by the legendary Dieter Dierks). Perhaps the band wasn't afforded the budget necessary to finish anything more than just a competent recording, but that's what the band, and especially their fans, deserve.
This steely aggression persists through most of the songs and renders the dynamics fairly flat. The last three songs almost sound like they're bonus tracks because they're most in the spirit of the old Accept. These include the ballad "Writing On The Wall" and Wolf's guitar instrumental "Pomp And Circumstance". Although these songs aren't anything spectacular, they provide a little fresh air after a long journey through this dark & narrow tunnel.
Despite a much heavier sound, "Death Row" is a typical Accept album, featuring a variety of Heavy Metal songs. The album reached the top 30 charts in countries like Germany and Sweden and managed to reach the top 50 in Japan.
"Death Row" was pressed on vinyl upon its original release, but only in very limited quantities, making this album one of the most sought after Accept albums on vinyl!
